Installed my extended stainless steel brake lines. I also made sure to do the lines at the calipers since I was already there. A bit of a no-brainer if you're using 'old rubber' as an excuse to change out the other ones. This one just seemed like it took longer than previous installs. Now, I just need a helper to finish bleeding them.
My late bday present finally arrived after 6 months from Freedom Retrofit. Got them wired and working this weekend. Love the light output and far better than my LED bulb on stock housing. Glad I went with Chrome over the black surround.

Ran Slick Rock with several other Cruisers. We ran from Utica to Alpine. My first time running the trail in this direction as I usually start from Alpine. It's a whole new trail when you run the opposite way! Great trip and several rigs took home some new scars. Here's two videos
it's a '97 LX* but added some extra ooomph to it neways
*not normally on '97s but i like the emblem
& not exact correct placement but cheated just a bit to cover tiny paint blem

Thanks for sharing...pretty hard core and shows the improvements of the 80 suspension on coils for so much more range of motion! Love both of these rigs, but makes me even more happy that I chose the 80 for myself...

If there is a harder way - I will find it...
Not really apples to oranges here, @jcardona1 has done a remarkable job putting together a nice rig. He is linked front and rear, a leaf sprung rig will never perform as well as a linked set up.Thanks for sharing...pretty hard core and shows the improvements of the 80 suspension on coils for so much more range of motion!

Started the OEM luggage rack delete. Not terrible comparably I guess. Also added a sticker
Flex Tape that b*tch!
Slickrock Trail last weekend with a bunch of 80 friends. Good times!
I'm looking for the same kit.
Any recommendations?
Knuckles & axle are fresh & happy now. Weren’t bad, but truck has a slight extra crispness since. Never had to work on them. Agreed on easy job, just lots to do. Redundant at this point but @cruiseroutfit kit w/ koyos is 
and @NLXTACY witsend driver is sweet. Almost no sign of wear after 26 years. Switched birfs anyway. Found a bad trunnion bearing (fell apart upon removal), and PS abs tube broke off from the upper, but was able to fix well enough. Minimal swearing was limited to the fact that I hate hand pumping gear oil.
I still really like the idea of a birf goblet to go along with the oil filter tumbler, which I just ordered from @HemiAlex

A couple pages back I posted that I was at emissions getting my 80 tested. Well she failed, but on the bright side the state of AZ has a program you can apply for. The state will help with $900 worth of repairs, I have to pay a $100 co-pay and anything over $1000.
I did check for vacuum leaks, with no luck. Checked the distributor for oil seepage but nothing.
Today I am picking up a OEM Toyota cap rotor today and will install them. The wires and plug wires have less then 10K miles on them.
After talking to the shop I am hoping it is just the catalytic convertors.

The Birf beer or Trail Grail comes out when you break at camp. Filled with pliny the elder
